Elizabeth [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers

All hail the Queen! All hail Cate Blanchett! To me, she's the new Meryl Streep. I was mesmerized by her performance. I love Queen Elizabeth and I remembering seeing this in the theatre and thinking to myself, "who is this incredible actress with this intense presence?" We all know Queen Elizabeth as a hard ruler. However, in this film, you see her as a person, both cold and passionate, hard and soft, independent yet yearning. You feel the tug and pull within her character and you feel for her predicament. This was a tour de force performance. It's a brilliant start for this amazing actress. It is outrageous that Gwenyth Paltrow won the Best Actress Oscar that year. But then again, we know that the Oscars are very political. Paltrow's performance was good, but not glorious like Cate's Elizabeth.

I wish I could have given it 0 stars - Mina Hart - USA
I really wish I could have given it negative stars.

This movie is terrible. Others have pointed out the many, many, many historical inaccuracies so I won't bore you with them yet again. The costuming was even more inaccurate.

Simply awful.

Elizabeth - the Edited Version - V. Tillman -
While the DVD was of excellent technical quality and arrived earlier that expected, scenes that I would have enjoyed --like the Spanish Armada's attempt to invade England-- were edited out. This should have been made clear to the purchaser.
